I had a psychedelic experience once that sent me to eternity and meeting the creator. My ego dissolved yet I was physically terrified. It was so magical and so full of love, changed my life for good. In the most positive way possible.
Everybody is struggling with mental health and could benefit from careful therapeutic use of substances like these. Wanna try, but keep being told I can't do it alone for the first time.
I do respect and believe in psychedelics as treatment, yet I’m reluctant about using them personally. Not sure about how “good” it may do to someone
dr.martyshroom is your guy. Got all kinds of psychedelics stuff. Guided me through my first ever experience
I find it funny if there's any psychedelic therapy there online
Yes
Psychedelics have the ability to induce profound altered states of consciousness.
True, it helped me in facilitating deep emotional processing and introspection.
Do you know where i can get one? I really need this shit to clear my head.
I got mine from dr.stolly
Is he on Instgram
Yes, Dr.stolly saved my cousin from bipolar disorder and some addiction. It has a lot of potential benefits
Psychedelics have the potential to make a significant impact on mental health issues like anxiety and depression. They've been incredibly helpful for me personally.
I've been looking to try some recently, but I can't find anywhere to source.
dr.tonyshrooms is your guy. Got all kinds of psychedelics stuff. Guided me through my first ever experience
He's on instgram??
Yes
I had my first experience with golden teachers, it was really great.
I tried some psilocybe cubensis and the experience I had was life altering, life saving trully.
I am a 25 yo man who suffered from severe depression and PTSD for 6 years. I felt trapped in a never ending nightmare that was consuming me slowly but surely without any way out. I was on 3rd line of treatment, tried to take my own life twice, couldn't go long without sharp chestpain, backpain, migraines. An invisible burden that would soften sometimes just to come back even stronger and strip me of all hopes.
I don't want to paint psychedelics as a panacea but in my case, where I felt like common western medecine had failed me, it trully was a miracle. I had lost my faith in a god but the mystical journey felt like a revelation, a contact with a higher entity. My darkest thoughts, the things who traumatized me and the dread of existence were filling my head but without any anxiety or fear.
There was a sense of purpose and unity within the world, our beautiful nature and the cosmos it was trully magnificient.
It was something words can't do justice, I felt like weeks had passed during the 6 hours it lasted. After I came back to a normal state of conciousness I felt no pain, no sorrow, no emptyness. I was a person again and not just a shell emptied by years of suffering. It was a real reset in my brain, I had forgotten what it felt to feel something other than pain or dread. What it feels to look forward to something that is not the release of death.
I am so happy. It's been 5 months and I trully feel like I am healed.

Good for you man! Pray for me mate - I’m still stuck there
So good to hear about your experience-thank you for sharing.
be well my fellow human
@@katehenderson8194 … please tell someone who you trust that you are not doing so well. please get help somewhere. hugging you in spirit here and forever. peace to you always.
Psilocybin saved my life from 16 years of uncontrollable suicidal thoughts. After just a few experiences I realized my depression and ptsd were completely gone.
Imagine carrying heavy chains from the age of 11 for almost two decades and then all of a sudden that burden is gone.
LSD did it for me. I have not been sad in ages.

I did psychedelics many times in my 20's. Almost every trip was amazing and incredibly enjoyable. No it didn't make me insane, but gave my life a renound sense of child-like wonder that has stayed with me 40 years on. Yes there were a few times tripping when I had moments of real terror, but it was always quickly followed by laughter over it. I have no regrets over taking it.
An example of a terror moment - at the peak of a trip, I threw up a taco with beef chilli in the toilet. I looked down and saw my heart beating in the bowl. I was convinced that I pucked out my ❤️. I had a panic attack, thinking it would be a waste of time to call for an ambulance, because I will surely be dead any moment. After a minute, I spent the next hour laughing about it. I was fortune to have never lost the fact that I was under the influence of a drug. I have heard of people who forget this fact and had terrible trips that affected them badly. Taking these drugs are not for everyone. Especially people with real psychological problems.
@@smeer001 When doing psychedelics in groups, it makes sense to have a "designated driver." It's one thing to see your own heart in the toilet, but to have another 'tripper' agree with you would be total schizophrenia. 😬😬😬 🤣
Many times in your 20's? Does that mea you've stopped now? If so, why?
@@justmemyselfandi7760 I am 59 years old now. Far removed from circles of people who could get any. I can honestly tell you though, if I could get it I'd drop a hit right now.
I agree. I am approaching 40 years of psychedelic journeys, mostly with respect, also. I am GRATEFUL
Anxiety happens when you think you have to figure out everything all at once . Breathe . You're strong . You got this . Take it day by day .
Psychedelic's definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression , I would like to try them again but it's just so hard to source out here.
I have been having constant and unbearable anxiety because of university.

Yess.
I just had my first experience with golden teachers, it was really great! I loved it.
Psychedelics can have profound effects. My experiences literally made me into the man I am today - but their glorification is a grossly dangerous thing. They may have been used throughout the history of mankind, but usually in controlled and quasi-religious settings. A psychedelic trip in the wrong set or setting will shred your mind in ways that are simply not able to be described in language.
This is exactly what came to mind, what if change of perception is towards wrong dangerous side instead of creativity and great noble things? It would seem Having good environment around you and protection from bad dark side is crucial
I wholeheartedly agree. They've made me into a better, happier, more loving and understanding man. Harm reduction, moderation, and responsible use is paramount for all psychoactive substance use.
@@atk97 even bad trips can be extremely helpful. I promote responsible use though, to keep it as positive as possible
They were used in wars.taken before battles or to increase ability to fight
@@bumblebootwiddletoes5185 my experiences have always been just flowers, rainbows, and unicorns.
Also the fabric of reality unraveling itself and all that, but always positive
I just can't seem to get bad trips and I'm not satisfied with my power to suppress them, I feel like I'm more powerful than Ayahuasca and not even when I try to confront it to get shaken up it happens
It's just been too good for me, I wish there were some more challenges, I want to actually grow and learn and I'm all for the "bad trips", bc it's always a confrontation with myself where i learn something useful.
I really don't see how one can have a bad trip without having the worst environment ever or being completely unprepared for the experience/afraid of themselves/the " "plant" teacher"
Like, I just completely surrender and trust it, even mentalizing: "take over my body and take me away, as far away as you like and then some" when the ego death starts to creep in
I am writing about this for my english exam next year, its disgusting the amount of backlash I have got from the teachers and the school so far, I love seeing this subject evolve and replace the stereotypic and misinformative information that we are taught at school.
Good for you to have the balls to speak your mind.
I feel you on this. I got my addiction studies degree in 2018 with the main goal of working with psychedelics to treat addiction when the legal avenues arise. I was up front about my intentions from the get go and many of the teachers were not supportive of my path. I did a paper on MDMA and had used the phase 1 studies from MAPS as a source. My instructor at the time tried to say they (MAPS) were a bunch of "crack pots" in California and wasn't going to accept the sources of my paper because she thought they weren't peer review studies. Not only that, she thought to make an example out of me for the rest of the class and put my paper on blast in class. Of course I made her look like a fool when I shared my peer reviewed examples and, of course, she had to accept my paper and apologize for being wrong. I've known the benefits of psychedelics since a very early age. I'm very thankful the tide has finally turned and that these medicines will soon be available to help our sick society. Keep up the good work!
That’s awesome! I’m taking my English course this year and I got to choose my course theme I’ll write 5 essays on. I chose mycology and there is a specific essay I get to write specifically about psychedelics. I’m sorry you are getting backlash I’ve actually got not only support but the curiosity of my classmates. I’m just so happy people do take it seriously. Congrats for having the confidence to talk about something that needs to be talked about. That’s very admirable.
Some of the stuff out there is exactly what you were taught in school. Make no mistake.
Others though, psychedelics in my case especially Cubensis, are fundamental to who you are supposed to be. Almost as if taking them, synchronizes you with all realities. If you let it.
I guess if we entertain one we must give all methods their just respect. So long as it is in a known-to-be-safe environment, especially for first-timers, then I firmly believe every person should exp at least once. Correctly done, I also believe many of the current ills of the world could be solved a lot quicker if the right decision makers would just take psychedelics, one single time.
It is almost more about the inner harmony, the months that follow, than it is about the actual 5 - 6 hour trip.
Going to be doing a presentation on psychedelics tomorrow lol
Mushroom was good to me
I know, right! It's mind-blowing how psychedelic trips can be so individual and unique, even when people take the same amount at the same time.

It helped me as well
Can he send to me in Ohio?
If anonymous delivery is something you're concerned about, he offers that option. He can provide an extra level of privacy and peace of mind. Safety and discretion.

there's a bunch over here :)
Nobody buy off of anyone in a youtube comment section. 1. They are probablu scams and 2. if you get caught, its a felony charge and can really screw you over.
What country are you in? I might know some websites that can help you out
Ah yes, the Crypto Bros sure know how to pivot
the best place to find them is go to an underground party or rave, or start hanging out with some hippies or alternative groups of people and just ask around
Omg this is on World Science?!?!? Amazing!!!
This isn't the first vid they've done on psychedelics, I'd highly recommend that one also
We need the scientists who are awake to help us fill the gap
Do (not) get high on your own supply - with a twist;)
Right the fact it got a platform to speak is amazing
Yes - I'm so glad they're sharing this conversation. I'm not a Rogan fan, but Brian Greene talked with him about psychedelics a bit when he was on. Those specific episodes were very insightful.
I was being treated for Bipolar disorder, I was on an antipsychotic, mood stabilizer, anti depressant and anti anxiety medication. I've been off my meds for a little over two years now and actually feel JOY! I give the credit to changing my environment and Psilocybin. Psilocybin can rejuvenate neurons that have become dormant from depression and actually grows and thickens dendrites! This is how we can help encourage neuroplasticity.
I really wish 🍄 were legal. The only way I can get off of these SSRIs is microdosing. They're turning brains into pudding. I don't have regular access so I'm gonna have to learn to fruit my own to heal myself. I'd rather not do it in a medical setting anyway lol.
Yeah levine_tripps is highly recommended
Hi Gabrielle, very intrigued by your post as similar circumstances but never tried psilocybin so not sure process to follow. Please can you share what process you followed?
Wow..our stories match to a 'T'...Im hoping Psilocybin 🙏 will help me to finally free myself of the horrible anti phycotics I've been on for 15 years. Although they have helped me alot in my journey that put me in my current position, I am ready to come off of them because of the side effects. Thank you for sharing!!!!
Wonderful to hear…. I too was told to take anti-psychotics in my 20’s, but I said no… and if I had psychedelics as an option… my very very slow healing journey would have been much faster and deeper. After all the research, it is still illegal! The health care system is so impotent at best and often very harmful. Thankfully most police serves don’t really care and turn a blind eye. Anyway glad you have benefited so profoundly from psychedelics.
I graduated high school in Billings MT in 1972. I’m grateful there were psychedelics, especially psilocybin and peyote, readily available. Many lovely times in the mountains. I’m old now and it’s been decades, but I treasure the experiences and the memories.
50 years later and here I am walking the same path you did. Absolutely love spending time near the mountains, especially to stargaze.
Thanks for your comment
how come you don't use them anymore?
Hell, yes brother.
The psychedelic experience is temporary but many people have permanent results
Psilocybin being illegal is a crime against humanity!
Taking 2grams was a wonderful experience for me

I’ve been microdosing over the past month and have noticed a wonderful change in myself. Psychedelics are medicine #legalizepsychedelics
what are you taking and how did you get access to them?
I'm also curious to know your dosing schedule.
Psychedelic therapy treats mental health issues, anxiety and depression. Likely will be one of the most profound experiences a human can have in a lifetime.
I hear this is supposed to be good for people who have mental health issues. I actually just started the research process of microdosing and all that. Im to the point where I want shock treatment.
dr.perryshroom is your guy. Got all kinds of psychedelics stuff. Guided me through my first ever experience
Been through this conversation before. I can’t do anything without a proper medical professional following me.
YES, he is dr.perryshroom. There's a lot of potential in psychedelics
It would be great to hear in more detail about your mystical experiences during meditation.
I am currently enrolled in a study at Johns Hopkins for psilocybin and with my first dose - I have seen so many positive changes and will have second dose next week!! It has given me a new positive outlook on me and life.
🥰🙌🏽🤗
What kind of setting was you in?
Hi, can you please tell me as a person who has never took such a thing, what is the initial doze can a person take? and is those changes in behavior requires at least on life experience or should I take it periodically ?
@@elmehdifetouaki2641It depends on the strain (species). I would say start with 2 grams. And you should take it periodically I would say at least once every few months. Not addictive at all, and it is a beautiful experience. Just make sure you are prepared before consuming, meaning don’t take it if you are sad, depressed, and hate yourself. Wait until you feel good. Good luck!
I know of a woman who had a brain tumor size of golf ball in left Temporal removed, the aftermath left her with tunnel vision, anxiety, vertigo, and few other issues, long story short, the doctors told her nothing could do for her. After time her husband did so much research and come upon micro dosing pylocibin, so she tried it and from first dose and after, it helped her with anxiety, memory, vertigo, and made her feel normal again, it didnt help with vision but it did help her to point she was able to go back to work, and regain her life. Her husband had found studies showing that pylocibin helps the brain neuroplasticity, and the doctors said in her case make the brain light up twice as much, showing that it was helping the brain waves, the synapses, and help bridge the brain connections around the area where they removed the tumor, and had said it was helping the brain send signals better.
I took mescaline once 49 years ago. I cant draw acceptable stick figures...on mescaline i drew 2 perfectly to scale drawings. One was a classroom pencil sharpener that was screwed to the wall, the other an air grate in the ceiling of the same classroom. I was 16 and in high school. Mescaline unlocked something in my brain that made the drawings possible. Nothing like that has ever happened again.
Peyote is spirit . I understand Agarpe from buttons . I wrote poetry Mescalito spoke to me on a deep level
Mine is San Pedro cactus 🌵
You know it's legal right? You can puchase San Pedro or T panachoi/T bridgesii/T Peruvian cactus cuttings and make tea out of the cactuses. All legal. It's legal to grow these cactuses and the cuts of cactus. It only becomes illegal when you eat or prepare it. They are used commonly as landscaping plants. Sometimes of the year you can find these plants at Walmart or home Depot garden centers. I can't draw stick figures either. Never tried drawing on mescaline. I'm just getting my cactus garden started.
@@1lightheaded I can’t figure out, why it that Mecalito so often “reveals” itself when mescaline is used. Never heard of an “ LSDito, or an DMTtto LOL !

Reggie is on the mark. If you haven't done much psychedelics you haven't really got a ton of understanding of them. Learning from experience always trumps books. There is no time. The self is real and unreal simultaneously. We're all God eating cake and having it too.
@Mycotenn
Wow, didn't expect such an interesting and entertaining talk to pop out on my youtube page today, but I'm sure glad it did. Insights about psychedelics and the mind are getting so much clearer by the year lately, this is the power of research.

Psychedelics give you the ability to shut down the thinking mind... Everyone is different but it allows you to step out of thinking, the same thing meditation does.. the difference is only practice, practicing to step out of thinking.... Meditation

I need to surround myself with people like this. I can never have a conversation like this in Kentucky. I wish more people in the bluegrass would open up
I agree with the officer !! Can we speed this up!! Let’s help people!!💕
Reggie explained how us improv musicians can sense what's coming in the next millisecond is spot on and the best explanation of our abilities I ever heard! he's bright and talented as he'll and I always loved him on James late show.This is being told by a 55 year improving guitarist. I gave up reading music 25 years ago and so glad I did.
Yeah, and once you have a fundamental grasp of the instrument it really becomes like that of humming or whistling/singing and makes it allot easier to improvise as you are not expending any of your focus on how you’re gonna move your fingers so you can be fully present while listening to a band or track and play along in real time, which also becomes easy once you understand the structure of how music and songs work and train your ear to pick up on the chord changes. Different songs have different chord structures (ex: a song with a 1,4,5 progression in the key of C major would progress with the first chord being C, followed by C and then F) the why isn’t important, but my point is simply that songs follow a set formula and once you learn the formulas you are then aware of how the song progresses so that you’re not swing in the dark guessing. And the coolest part of all this is that with sufficient practice this all happens subconsciously and at that point your entire focus is exclusively on expressing your emotion and imparting how the musical piece makes you feel into the mix and even that doesn’t require much effort, though is a very personal thing to pour the entirety of your soul out into what you’re playing and feels like a very vulnerable place. Kinda like crying in public. That’s why I don’t perform, but I am in love with music and will play guitar until draw my last breath :) 🤙
He was put on the spot at the end and delivered, just amazing!
I have personally experienced the power of psychedelics through Mother Ayahuasca, which helped me to see reality through the lens of love and to release trauma and negativity that was stored in my subconscious mind. Which has led to a new understanding of myself and also my place in the world. Psychedelics have the potential to heal traumas, connect us with our creativity, and expand our consciousness. I am grateful for the insights and healing that psychedelics have brought into my life and I believe that they have the potential to change the world. 🌿✨🙏

Lordytrip deals on different psychedelic
You can get most psychedelic from them
I had an experience similar to what Huxley and the others describe here of their psychedelic experiences - absolute Oneness and indescribable euphoria - that lasted for 3 days as a result of intensive study of A Course in Miracles. I truly believe and have lived ever since (26 years ago now) that this “altered” experience is True Reality …. while most of humanity lives a dimmed down version of life.
Very true to my own experience. I re-lived some traumatic pain again which felt more intense but at the same time I felt safe feeling pain, fears etc so intensely. And it was a mix of emotions, good & bad during ego death. And then it all ended with tons of tears of happiness..bitter sweet moment when I said omg it’s so sad people don’t see love but it’s everywhere!! I felt so much love everywhere and inside me too, as if something was healing me with lots of love…It was almost the same emotion when my son was born.

I would take it again, because it took me out of depression. The problem is, I was doing so good, I ran into a narcissist and went out with her, and ruined everything in my life.
If I get another chance, I am staying single, and happy.
I take ketamine under a doctor's care for chronic pain. The trip is incredibly intense. i have had chronic pain from a spinal injury for over a decade. It has resulted in my never having a chance to have a mental release of psychic detritus for lack of a better word. I've found that the ketamine trip has not only been a miracle for the pain, but it has also done wonders for my mental health.
Have you ever tried Kratom? I found it to be great for pain.
I must bring this up to my doctor although I go to the Veterans Affairs for my medical care so he may not be able to discuss this treatment with me. I struggle with severe pain and combat related PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
@@xbostonirishx you should try levine_tripps he's prescription are just so wonderful 👍
He also ship 🚢 discreetly safe to any location 💯
@@xbostonirishx Careful...kratom is severely under-studied and is likely as addictive as any opioid (similar pathway) + similar severe withdrawal symptoms. It also has nearly no presence in the medical industry, which makes it incredibly prone to contamination. That is much less try for ketamine.
My 1st experience with psychedelics was age 18 and LSD. I was hesitant the first time. After that I wanted more. It was not an addiction as they claim but a desire to explore myself more intimately within my own mind. I learned a lot while on LSD and "magic mushrooms" about my own life experiences and how to put the negatives in a better perspective. Being 55 now I wish to have more experiences like that again. I am curious to see if the "trips" would be along the same line or different since almost 30yrs have passed since the last "trip". I could put more here but then it would be a novel.

my last trip taught me things about myself that I can't even put into words. I used to trip for fun and games or to enjoy a video game or TV. But my last trip. my last trip showed me where I was wrong. what I was not doing that I should be. it was frightening but being a experienced user and sorta a pysconaut , I knew what was happening. my subconscious had finally revealed to me what I had been shying away from. let's just say now , I'm a dad of two and a husband to a loving wife. if you are going to use , use wisely , in a comfortable setting. remember there is no such thing as a bad trip. what's makes a trip bad is just you learning something about yourself , your environment, others, that you have been ignoring or pushing to the subconscious. accept the Information you are allowed incite to. the ln when you come down fix it. become better. one love ! one consciousness. peace love and happiness fellow star beings ❤
Without any knowledge of these therapies, after an intense lifetime of depression and suicidal ideation, I came off all of my medications and went through a profound period of repeated psilocybin trips and without even recognizing what they were doing, my mind began to rewire itself and I can truly say throughout my trips I have been able to comprehend myself at a deeper level and understand the meaning of my own life and even my suffering. If you are struggling, turn inward and know you aren’t alone!
In the 1960s, we used to prepare for a trip. We chose the music we wanted, draped windows with beautiful fabrics, set out candles for the lighting, and incense. We set up areas for laying down, and comfortable sitting.
We bathed or showered, and placed interesting and beautiful things around the room, and unplugged the phone. We also removed mundane objects from the area. We had water ready for everyone, and often juice. We designated someone who would not take the drug, but was there in case someone needed talking down.
We all took it together at the same time. These preparations made for very positive experiences. It was never a party drug for us, so we received a more Spiritual journey that was profound.🖤🇨🇦
2 years back me and my fellas we took a trip next to the sea, slightly as you said. We had a great time all six of us.

Reggie’s narration was amazing. I could listen to him all night
Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction. Imagine carrying heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not in a couple years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.
Nobody dare say that one reason people try this stuff is that it's ... gasp ... fun!! We're (in the US) still really a bunch of puritanical scardey-cats. I speak as a (still rational!) survivor of the Dear Departed late 1960s.
Amen, brother! My most wonderful psychedelic experience was on Windowpane in Alaska...memorable!
Yeah,us Yanks do have a peculiar psycho-pathology to deal with. Ironically, we're the ones that Sacred Medicine would be of the most therapeutic value. The people who need it the most are the least likely to avail themselves to it out of fear.

Nice! Very good combination of science and simple life experience. Thanks to all scientists working on psychedelics to be used as a cure.
Started trying stuff at 35 and in all my trips I was thinking about friends and family members having anxiety, depression, cancer, that they probably need this as well. Always had a sensitive period after the trips when I was getting on something to better my life or to learn, or to see dear friends, for which "I am not finding the time". Not to mention the fun and the feeling of pure love.😊

….!
i'd have to say, this was an excellent discussion. exactly the right type of information for the public to hear. especially astonished at reggie watts articulate explanations of being under the influence of psychedelics and the after effects.
so happy to see the resurgence, never would have thought it would happen in my lifetime

In my experience, when two or more people share a joint experience that focuses their attention and which they jointly contribute to (such as watching a movie, making love, massage or even playing a game) then it is totally possible to share hallucinations. I've had this several times with various people. Whilst it doesn't prove external energies being revealed but it is rather baffling to think that two or more people are hallucinating the very same thing.
Yeah gotta say glad you said that about having the same hallucinations as others, I remember the first time I experienced it vividly, I remember cos it was that profound an experience
we all see different rainbows depending on light and distance even when we're next to each other. thanks for opening my vision today
I have absolutely experienced that with another person. It is
truly astonishing when it occurs, as if two minds become one.
100% agree I have had these myself . I was amazed that myself and a few friends held a conversation without a word being spoken.
@Hoffman Jecka little overwhelmed but not uncomfortable
By far the most interesting program on this topic I have ever watched. I learned a lot.
We’re finally getting this in place. An extra bonus to helping those with PTSD, anxiety and depression I believe will be the side effect to the casual user/society….More empathy, love and caring. We could use it right about now.
Psilocybin is brilliant! Spirituality and creativity and joy. Shedding all teenage concerns about being cool, popularity, gadgets. Reengaging with nature. Deeper love for other people and living beings and for being in itself as a whole. No downside like with marijuana. More energy and confidence and vision.
Amazing conversation. Thank you WSF!
When we are asking people for sacrifice, and to serve and protect, a psychological program should be the first condition of employment. All people who wield power should be willing to learn about themselves.
Thank you Rick, Reggie, Gul, and Brian for an open honest discussion, it's refreshing.
The idea of opening up a critical time frame to increase your understanding you is really broadening our horizons.
I would 💯 prefer my police force use psychotropics, then be evaluated, then report for duty, in a regular order.
@@dragonslayerslayerdragon5077 Now THAT makes complete sense! (It will never happen.)😏
In March I broke my ankle and in the hospital the doc gave me ketamine to reset my bones..when I was in the process of coming back I was having some strange thoughts.. But I was also on the beach.. it was like a vivid lucid dreaming. It was a blessing while it lasted.

I first learned about Psychedelics by reading a Time/Life book on Psychology, basically a picture book with competent "pop-sci" articles that went with the pictures. I was probably around 10 y.o. when I first read it. I was intrigued, but I never had access or the urge to actually try it myself until I was a lot older and had read up on the subject for years at that point. I also was into ancient Asian culture and self-learned (with books, of course), to have semi regular meditation sessions when quite young, lol, I hid it from my family because I knew that they would make fun of me for it. I also eagerly read Carlos Castaneda's first few books, Charles Tart books and other fad type books of the time, lol, the Tao de Ching, learned the 40-yarrow stalk method for divining the I Ching as a teen, read several books on shamanism, practiced drumming, rattle shaking, chanting and various visualizations common amongst most shamanistic tradition, like finding the entrance to and entering the lower world to find something like your spirit animal/entity for instance. When I finally tried hallucinogens, I figured that I was ready for it. Well, ...he-he... it was more powerful, more visual, spiritual and emotional than I thought it would be and I discovered a few things about life and the universe. It was a total blast in that place and time in my life. I had several extremely wonderful and a few very frightening experiences. That song "Don't Let It Show", by the Alan Parson's Project makes me chuckle still...

Gül Dölen's experience is similar to why I switched from physiology to physics--I saw a question and a pattern in things and realized my path was there... by the way my adult self obsessed and desired to pursue, over the course of many years.
this is definitely one of the best discussions I've heard on the topic and with nothing but positive review comments here in the thread it just blows my mind that these "tools/medicines" are still illegal but not surprised at the same time when this country cares more about financial gains than it does healing the mind and traumas. mush love everyone. please do your part, anything you can towards helping this information reach who it needs to reach. psychedelics have changed my life so much and had made me a better person but haven't had the chance to experience them the last 13 years and since then my traumas, ptsd, anxiety, depression and anger have all enveloped my life but I don't know a single person in to psychedelics in person which saddens me but just shows me how sorely needed this information needs to be heard.

I would say we are experiencing the source of everything, which doesn’t distinguish between inside and outside. Infinite love.
Great perspective,
And yes,
Life is to our own understanding!
Which is why our ideas and understanding of what is accepted/ acceptable is based on our environment(ie. learned socially)...
We "ALL" need to come together civilly and grow outwardly!

As that is our natural path of evolution...

Brian, Terrence McKenna would be thankful and proud of you to bring on the topic of psychedelics, Kudos to you👍 as McKenna frequently spoke about, psychedelics is the most significant way for the human and environment to survive, especially in the toxic world that we live in right now. Thanks so much Brian👏✨
Sometimes it turns out the whole illegalisation of certain substances was money/fear driven by people with their own agendas. Since these boycots are almost global while their health contribution could be so large, I feel like the people stalling this progress for so long should be held accountable (or at least be called out).
Here in the Netherlands, for example, we like to follow the US a bit too much. Also, psilocybin mushrooms have been illegalized some years ago because a French tourist committed suicide while on mushrooms. I guess i'm trying to say that the whole "war on drugs" thing is still backfiring.

I read some of the experiences expressed here in the comments. Some good, some not so. It is a fascinating, subjective and therefore complicated subject. I am a chemist and think about molecules in many ways. I love brain chemistry, memories, the interpretation of light hitting our retinas to create the world we live in and the consciousness we acquire to deal, enjoy, hate, cry or simply watch such universe being there. Am I a part of the universe? Of course!
My point: a hot pepper, a soft or loud song, a bird chirping, the excitement or horror of parachuting from an airplane, the soft touch of a human hand, they all provide the same input into our brain. Then we interpret such inputs per our style, our mood and what our life is like in the moment. In a hurry? Bored? Happy? Same input, different reaction, even for me.
I love spicy food, rollercoasters, am a risk taker (not stupid things though, whatever that means) so I wonder what goes through my mind that makes me so different even from my siblings. Yet similar in some ways. Genetics. To all and everyone of you, past, present and future, enjoy your senses. I will spare you from discussing synesthesia which is an awesome topic of conversation. Cheers!
Somebody recommended me this video. They mentioned that I think the way these people talk about. After watching, I realize that it is true. I understand what they are saying. This scares me as I've never taken psychedelics. I don't know if I ever will since I'm extremely introverted and no means to get them, but this was enlightening. I might be crazy though, but I think that is okay.
My story Exactly!! We must have a deep connection some how
🧅🧅🧅 "onions" are an introverts best friend when it comes to getting a hold of things without conversing with people.... *Wink wink*
Bruv if ur getting high on life you dont need the chemical assistance =)
A critique on people who take psychedelics or hippies who have another view in life. After one goes to remind change the tend to forget how the conscious was before they went through that might change and how they look to other observers who are not gone through the conscious change of say psychedelic. Yes they have developed consciences but they forget how a conscious was before they had it they only have some moments to remember. That is a big factor why it’s not growing nowadays, we’re slowly growing. These hippies don’t give a shit about how they look or perceive to others around them which is fine but if you’re wanting to teach the perspective of your own to others you must match the perspective of others first so they can understand you and you can understand them and then you can share the information
I respect you guys more and more, thank you!
No one does it better than Brian Greene and the WSF
Did alit of acid and am truly glad i did. It opened my mind to many thing and changed my thought process for the better. I realized at a young age experiencing acid what really is important in the whole realm of the universe. I can only imagine what kind of uptight snot nose person would have been. Thank god im not that awful person. Never had a bad trip, like i said i did alot starting a a young age. It was my drug of choice. Today i have no addictions and still know what really matters in life its not what most people think and if you want to know you need to have your own experience with acid the answer is different for everyone
Mdma combined with psilocybin, is a magical journey.
Wow!! WSF now has a dedicated episode for this. We are going in a right direction.
Well they did make another episode where they talked about how psychedelics have been used historically, mostly in the tribal sense
never have I heard someone explain it so perfectly, starting around 50minutes till 53mins
Way back in the day I ate some peyote buttons and eventually I ended up in Boulder Creek in Boulder Colorado. I remember merging with the water in the creek like I was water molecules. Then I flowed with the water in the creek and I became aware that I was connected to all the places that the creek flowed. Then eventually, I merged with the Mississippi River and flowed into the Gulf of Mexcio. I became aware that I was the totality of the water in the Gulf of Mexica and then I was the totality of the all the water on the Earth. It was a powerful experience to realize how really, really alive the Earth is and how I was connected to it.
Brian, chapeaux in my opinion one of your Best Big Ideas to explain the world of psychedelics. Truly a masterpiece! You covered in 100 minutes how new science will help people to make suffering an option and to live their dream. Many thanks to your participants to share their beliefs.
Greene good to see you.WSF is important for humanity dont stop.

The first time I tripped it was on a weekend and I did a little window pane with a friend of mine who brought along his guitar. Weeks before my mother had given me a bouncy ball they had glow juice in it. We hung out in my basement listen to music I listen to him play guitar and we played with the bouncy ball in the dark. We couldn't see each other just the bouncy ball. It was fine. Gave us electric smiles. I highly recommend it.

I am about to embark on psychotherapy at 51 years old after a childhood of abuse of Munchausens by proxy otherwise known as Fabricated induced illness (F.I.I), never realising I have extreme ptsd, and this discussion has really inspired me to seek out psychotropics as part of my therapy. Thank you so much for covering this subject matter💯🙏. Dx
Hey Decorus :) Good luck on your quest. I'd just like to say that here, in the Netherlands, PTSD got an additional category called complex PTSD. The reason for this is that multiple/complex PTSD has behavioural outcomes sometimes mixed up with other categories like bi-polar, pddnos, borderline, etc... while the underlying issue is still PTSD. I have some friends that really struggled to get the right diagnosis (and appropriate help) therefor.
I wish you guidance and health
@@rikvermeer1325 Hey Rik, thank you for your kind words and support. I Haven't delved too deep into the multiple/complex ptsd yet, but 17 years plus of that kind of abuse would, have brought on other psychological issues. I will let you know how I get on, in fact if I don't write my memoirs, I'll have too many queuing up to kick my ass lol. Thanks again buddy🙏. Dx
That's terrible. I'm glad that,if you haven't experienced it before,that you have professional guidance. Chances are, you'll find it not unpleasant and very insightful. Go into it with the intention of bringing back lessons about yourself that will be valuable in your everyday life. I don't know how 'spiritually minded' you are,I hold a reverence for the experience. Best of everything to you.🕯️

Psilocybin saved my life. I was addicted to heroin for 15 years and after Psilocybin treatment I will be 3 years clean in September. I have zero cravings. This is something that truly needs to be more broadly used in addiction treatment.

i'm always concerned about THE LOSS. What will i lose that is ME, if i give into THIS. Will i lose nothing? What will i gain? It's a very deep concern. This is THE UNIVERSE. NOTHING is not a "trade off"
you are so right i never thought i will say this but ever since i tried mushroom i have become a better person, and my dealer is so helpful because he is a doctor he prescribed what is best for me...go check him "ROBERTPHILS"
Great talk, I thank you all for helping get the word out of the immense possibilities being shown for our society.
"Turning the Tide," a talk by Terence McKenna, is my favorite talk on this subject (previously known as, "The Ethnobotany of Shamanism.")
The "machine gun" drug you took, Brian, drug sounds like salvia devonorum, or possibly jimson weed. Both are delirients, like amanita mus-scare-ya, ketamine, bath salts, "synthetic marijuana," etc.
"Prior knowledge" -- our mind's *projective systems* causes us to "see what we expect to see," literally. But if we become aware of what we're doing only half-consciously, we can turn it off, or turn it down a notch or two, and see things more clearly, or broadly.
You've probably heard the saying, of "perceiving the universe in a pebble" or something to that nature. Here's how Terence McKenna said it:
"...we’re accustomed to seeing things on the surface; to being focused in the now moment; to be focused in those aspects of reality that directly impinge on our own health, diet, and immediate well-being. And the depth in everything--*the infinity in a rose, the infinity in a wave breaking on a beach*--all that has been swept aside by our *utilitarian instincts.* The psychedelics dissolve that historical presence and release us into a kind of eternal time, the time we existed in before history. And there, authentic being is waiting for us." --Terence McKenna, radio interview on KPFA radio

Great post.
Been following MAPS since it's inception.
Used correctly MDMA can (among other things) literally unleash the hidden /suppressed mega-creative side, developed in some of us artists (that sometimes only comes anymore WITH the use of compounds like MDMA).
The affect on a person can change their life. If you can imagine being one or two steps away from another "Pieta" or your personal "Mona Lisa", or becoming a Warhol.
I speak from experience.
I see the amazingly creative and healing potential of MDMA/psilocybin therapy/treatment.
The blessings we receive from these organic compounds is un-ending.
What an AMAZING conversation! Exactly what I needed. Whoever decided to pair these three panelists deserves a hefty raise! Interviewer did the same thing! Bravo
Big fan of these conversations. Keep it up please. Love the one on sounds and vibration too
came off of a shroom trip last night and understanding the concept and the experiences people have conveyed can only be learned thoroughly if you have partaken in some sot of drug induced trip. I feel as i have completely changed my way of thinking and mindset as a whole since being shown that love goes no where, you must show it to receive it and once i had that shown to me through psychedelics, everything changes.
It starts off small because you test it out to friends, family and SO's but as Brian said in the video, over time your goal start becoming a reality as your intentions are with nothing else but love.
I do strongly encourage other minds suffering with pain, PTSD and other types of mental illness to experience this whole other world.
brilliant conversational discussions, love the various perceptions and each of their contributions to the progression. Synergy revelations, Brian Green, great choices of participants, wow, intellectual art. Tears in my eyes, gladness at these days of enlightenment...sadness, the wasted time, lost research, the legislation adopted and imposed on generations, shameful madness. This open minded conversation on the cusp of hopefully a great renaissance of perceptive awareness where all are invited to celebrate enlightenment.... Ascension unto the sacred love, vibrational truth of which we all partake. Here in Hawaii there is an timeless adage, "try look your inside." This podcast needs to be required as a valuable component in understanding a fresh human mindset. tyvm all who continue to contribute love and understanding
